Stephen: Be Filled With The Spirit
In this powerful message, we're invited to explore the transformative power of being filled with the Holy Spirit through the story of Stephen in Acts 6-7. Stephen's unwavering faith and spiritual fullness enabled him to perform miracles, deliver a compelling message, and face martyrdom with grace. We're challenged to consider: Are we living in the power of the Spirit or merely going through religious motions? The lesson reminds us that being Spirit-filled doesn't guarantee an easy life, but it does provide supernatural strength to endure trials. Stephen's ability to see heavenly visions and forgive his persecutors demonstrates the profound impact of spiritual fullness. As we navigate our own faith journeys, we're encouraged to surrender daily to the Spirit's control, seeking His power to stand firm in an increasingly hostile world. This message compels us to examine our own spiritual lives and ask: Are we leaking spiritually, or are we continually being filled with the Spirit's presence and power?
